Ushers have a goal of minimizing distractions during the music and sermon. Ushers stand ready to assist anyone in the congregation who might need help, to aid latecomers in finding a seat, and to inform those in the sanctuary of any urgent matters.
Although the position of “usher” is not mentioned in the Bible, ushers today provide an invaluable service to the local church body. In many ways, the ushers are the “face” of the church, the first ones that people see when they arrive and the last ones they see as they leave. It is important that an usher be friendly, honest, and willing to serve. It is an honorable position in the church, requiring integrity, cordiality, and wisdom.
The heart of an usher is the heart of a servant, and he does his work for his Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:24). A church usher has a true love for the people of the church and a desire to promote an atmosphere of reverence and worship in the house of God. An usher’s theme verse could very well be Psalm 84:10, “I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
Description: Ushers are often the first voice and the first interaction visitors experience at a church. They are responsible for bringing comfort, compassion and the spirit of God’s blessings to all who enter the church doors.
The mission of the Ushering Ministry is to serve together in manner that is pleasing to God, to glorify the sanctuary of the Lord by providing a courteous, and friendly place of worship, and welcoming atmosphere and to be attentive to the needs of the congregation.
The vision of this ministry is to continue to grow spiritually and increase the ministry with new members, to continue to move forward with the vision that God has set for Transforming Life to actively support the church and community through service and commitment, and to promote unity, spiritual knowledge, and stewardship.
The goal of Usher ministry is to meet and greet visitors, friends, and families of God providing a warmth, and welcoming attitude. We are here to serve those who attend our worship services in the capacity fitting of the manner demonstrated by our Lord Christ Jesus.
